Behold, the score for Jackson Miller’s Prism. I originally approached Jackson to score this after seeing the Kickstarter (I scored his film Cycle a year or so back) and thinking the project was going to be amazing. I was right; the VFX team on the project was amazing, the script was amazing, and the entire thing was just a masterclass in good filmmaking. I’m proud to have worked on this one.

Score for a dystopian sci-fi film set in the seemingly near future; this was actually a difficult score to compose, as I’m used to kind of going over the top with everything I write. Staying sparse and in the background was quite a challenge.

Score for a superhero film based on Static Shock of the Justice League! The goal of the score was to get something suitably epic in scale for the epicness of the film itself, while still remaining true to the intimate nature of the storyline itself.

Most recent commissioned score for a comedy-documentary about Vishavjit Singh, a Sikh cartoonist from New York who dresses up as Captain America and fights intolerance. It’s sort of brilliant, you should watch it.

320kb/s mp3’s as usual.

It’s been a while since I posted any new music (September, specifically), so here’s one of the scores I wrote this semester. Clicking the artwork downloads the track with the full-version artwork, so enjoy that. Merry Christmas.

320kb/s mp3’s as usual. Not a whole lot to say about this one, it’s pretty standard but worked well in the final cut of the film. I’ll see if I can update at some point with a copy of the finished product.

So I forgot to include this score in the C&SVIII this summer on account of the fact that I was in Seattle without all the files on my computer and completely forgot about it, but hey, better late than never. This was Mac Nelsen’s horror/redemption epic senior thesis which I hopped on around December before the semester began. Good times.

320kbps. Download in the artwork, or the player below. Take your pick. The themes and motifs in this are loosely based on Chopin’s 2nd piano sonata, so there’s some easter eggs for the classical buffs out there.

I agreed to do this score sometime last year. This was an ambitious thesis project directed by the same man who did GhostBusted (AP from last year). He liked what we did on his AP, so I have returned to provide sweet, sweet music for his thesis!

The storyline of Dormir follows a young, successful artist who struggles with drug addiction, falling hopelessly in love with a dream girl along the way. I shall attempt not to spoil anything because the film is awesome, and I will have a link to it at some point in the future. Until such time; enjoy the score.

Pumping out scores like no other this semester; here’s the second one finished, for Ryan Von Bengfort’s “HYD”, which, incidentally, happens to be based on the same source material that I wrote a symphony on last year. When he mentioned that he was shooting a thesis based on Jekyll & Hyde, I didn’t even bother reading the script before accepting the project. It had to be done.

Unfortunately the project wound up being extremely tight on time, so there’s not a whole lot of music here, but what we got through worked amazingly well for the film. No download link this time; this will be released on the next compilation album in June, unless somebody begs for it in which case, fine, you can have it early. Much love.

Four tracks, arrows will scroll through them, or it’ll play automatically through if you just leave it.

Score for Sam’s AP, “The Ark”, which screens at Chapman University in Folino Theater on December 11th. In typical musical tradition, the score is releasing the night before. Mixed in 5.1 for extra epic on the final cut. This was my “big” score for the semester.

“The Ark” is a sci-fi drama about humanity reaching the technological singularity (read up on this), and what happens to those caught in the events that follow.

Some nice album artwork and 4 cues @ 320kbps awaiting at the download. Enjoy.

After two months or so of work, I present the finished Shelter score :D

Much work here. The score was completed about 50-60% over the course of 2 months, with lots of time taken to deliberate on instrumentation/sounds, effects, synths, motivic development, etc., and then the remaining 40-50% was finished from 12am-6am last night, thanks to a 16oz Red Bull and some last-minute inspiration.

No download here, it will be available with the release of College & Stuff: Vol. II sometime in June, along with several other scores including at least an independent pilot project and an AP. Hopefully I’ll have the Jekyll & Hyde symphony finished by then as well, but no promises.

June to June, a year in music. Everything in here is everything that I’ve written from June 2010 to June 2011. Most of these are already available on the website, but here there are now, categorized, artworked, and ready to be added to your iTunes. Included in this release is all electronic music from forever, random tracks from jam sessions at friends houses, and all of the school projects and scores I did this year, including all of the tracks for Insertion (including a few tracks that were unreleased until now) and everything from A New Man, the Advanced Production from the film school that I scored. It’s a total of 2 hours of solid music.

Also of note: I don’t believe in compression. It makes music sound miserable, and despite what you all think you CAN hear the difference. Therefore, this is a massive download at 200mb. Deal with it, the end result sounds better.

About a month ago, I worked as a director of technology on an Advanced Production at Chapman University (photos from the shooting days here and here and here). After we wrapped, I was asked by the director to score the film, since the composer he had already talked to had backed out. I was thrilled, and got to work immediately. One month later, I present, to the public domain, my final score.

There are four total songs. The playlist will autoplay, but if you want to scroll through them, use the red arrows on either side of the player.

With this piece comes the announcement that I have finished the main theme for insertion. The theme can be heard in the other piece for Insertion that I have released on the website; this is the second track from the score that is public. The remainder of the soundtrack will be private until the film is finished.

For your listening enjoyment, I present to you a small teaser song for part of the score I’m currently working on. This is part of a full score, not just a single score on its own; I’m working on the full-length soundtrack to a film that my friends at Chapman University are currently writing. Enjoy the teaser :)

Orchestration is a full string orchestra, oboes, clarinets, trumpets, French horns, and trombones. So far.
